AWS Security Hub has released 4 new controls for its National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-53 Rev. 5 standard. These controls conduct fully-automatic security checks against Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). To use these controls, you should first turn on the NIST standard. If you are already using the standard and have Security Hub set to automatically turn on new controls, these new controls will run without having to take any additional action.
With this release, Security Hub now supports up to 257 security controls to automatically check your security posture in AWS.
For more information about the new controls and the AWS Services which are included head over to the AWS announcement.
